Fundamental Research to Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction

Defense Threat Reduction Agency · HDTRA1-25-S-0001 · Deadline: September 30, 2034

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 12.351, Scientific Research - Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 29 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 34% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
